Question

Witch ordered pair is the solution to the system of equations
{-5x-3y=12
{y=x-12

Answer 1

`\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}-5x-3y=12&(**)\\y=x-12&(*)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute}\ (*)\ \text{to}\ (**):\\\\-5x-3(x-12)=12\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\-5x+(-3)(x)+(-3)(-12)=12\\-5x-3x+36=12\qquad\text{subtract 36 from both sides}\\-8x=-24\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-8)}\\\boxed{x=3}\\\\\text{Put the value of x to}\ (**):\\\\y=3-12\\\boxed{y=-9}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{x=3\ and\ y=-9\to(3,\ -9)}`
